Hey all I just reached level 30 earlier on today, and decided that it was about time that I said a temporary goodbye to my trusty and faithful Q. I've had the ship for a wonderful 14 levels, and now...well, I want to move on a bit. Anyway, I bought myself a new L Class Destroyer, outfitted it with the second set of 5.25" duals, and got ready to suit myself up.
But wait, a few problems..
After fitting on these new, much MUCH heavier guns, I actually can fit on LESS crew than on my Q - I was only able to fit my BO, two Gunners, ONE Repairer, and ONE Restorer...and even that with only 4 in bulkhead, ZERO in belt! Surely there must be something wrong there. On my faithful Q, I could fit the BO, Gunners, both a Repairer, Restorer, Second Seaman (Level 23), and a prospective Engineer (level 17 Support at the moment) along with decent armor (~0.5 Belt, 5 Bulkhead).
What should I do about this? I don't want to nerf my crew at all...I want to still be able to level up my support by switching them in and out. Any words of advice out there for a very disappointed RN Sailor?
I had thought about switching out the 5.25" Doubles for the 7.5" Singles...would that be wise? I prefer to play the range game, so I don't mind the fewer shells overly much...would that be effective at all? How do the 7.5" guns compare to my usual 6"/45's in terms of accuracy?
Any help would be VERY much appreciated - if necessary, I have no problem grinding out to 34 in the Q, but I'd like to get out of the level 16 ship eventually!
